Chapter 10 Business

The appearance of the windmill in Zhangjiazhuang completely shook the surrounding villages.

The people around have already gotten the news, and they have rushed to see if the result is as magical as the rumors.

On the day of the erection of the windmill, there was an endless stream of men, women and children on the post road before dawn, and they were rushing to the bank of the river, waiting for this novelty to appear, and now the waterwheel was already crowded with people, and everyone was surprised by the big guy who did not want to work by himself, for Lu Shi and Zhao Dahai, they did not dare to disturb, so they surrounded Zhang Laoshi and asked the east and west, Zhang Laoshi Mune, seeing these people around was even more embarrassed and speechless, so he pushed out the big boy to answer everyone's questions that were not played.

The eldest son of the Zhang family became a live commentator vividly, where he spitted and showed off to everyone how his master was supernatural, and from time to time the people were amazed, and Zhao Dahai laughed, and he also slapped Lu Shi with that greasy hand to show his affectionate praise, if it wasn't for Lu Shi's strength, he would have been patted down by his big hand.

Everyone was envious around the waterwheel, and some people begged Zhang Laohan to make one for their village.

This is a big deal, although there was no intellectual property protection in the Ming Dynasty, stealing art, but it was poked in the back, so Zhang Laohan couldn't be the master, and came to ask Lu Shi for instructions.

Seeing this, Lu Shi smiled and said: "This craft is actually your Zhang family's, whether to do it or not is up to your grandfather, why do you pull me in?" ”

"The master can't say that, this craftsman has the rules of the craftsman, you are the heir of this thing, and you are also the master of the two children, the master is in one day, that is, everything has to be decided by the master." Zhang said honestly and solemnly.

Everyone looked at Lu Shi with eager anticipation, and hoped that Lu Shi would agree, so that he could make this artifact as soon as possible and not delay the agricultural time.

Lu Shi also smiled and said: "Okay, Brother Zhang will take the carpenters who have been cooked in the village, or according to the original method, make a few fights for everyone, but if you give these things to people, in addition to materials, collect some labor services as appropriate, how much money and food, you look at it, and everyone will distribute the income according to how much effort they make, don't hurt everyone's harmony." ”

Those carpenters cheered together when they heard it, originally they only made one, and it was relatively simple, it was all easy to do, and now with skilled craftsmanship, it is faster to build a windmill than now, if you really collect manual money, those few are also a lot of income, and the other villages also know this rule, and they all happily agreed at that time, and then the villages were impatient to push out the villagers to the side to negotiate the price with Zhang Laoshi.

Zhang Laoshi was originally a kind person, and he also saw that everyone was a poor brother, and the price offered was very kind and fair, of course, everyone was happy.

After the price was negotiated, he came to Lu Shi and apologized: "They are all neighbors, and they are also people who have a meal but not a meal, I really can't wipe my mouth, the price is lower, and it will not be settled until after the autumn harvest, so that, that, but my share is good even if it is on the master?" ”

Lu Shi hurriedly postponed, he didn't do anything and took the dry shares, what else did he have to take? Pushing back again and again, it is impossible to resist the Zhang family's father and son, Zhao Dahai laughed and said: "Take it, this is still his Zhang family taking advantage of you, otherwise, where is the income of all this extra money?" If you really can't bear it, then please ask me and Xiaoya to forget it. ”

Lu Shi had no choice but to give up, thinking that what he got would eventually be handed over to the Zhang family's mother-in-law and aunt, and it was still cheap to be in charge, so he agreed to this condition, and then watched everyone busy, and he sat next to the windmill and continued to take care of the windmill, while also thinking about where it needed to be improved.

The spring breeze is blowing, the sound of the water is murmuring, the windmill is babbling, Zhao Dahai next to him puts the felt hat on his face and sleeps soundly, and the little girl is running around him, laughing and jumping happily, grabbing the butterflies that come out early, picking wild flowers from far or near, and teasing the godfather with thatch from time to time, it is really a pastoral scenery.

When I got up and looked up, I saw that the people were panicked and avoided, and those girls and daughters-in-law were screaming and walking around, and in the blink of an eye, there was already a burst of chickens and dogs jumping in the lively fields. was startled, but saw a guy in fresh clothes and angry horses, waving the whip in his hand to whip the people who were blocking the road, and came straight to him like a gallop.

When Lu Shi saw this, he was angry.

Not to mention, this scene is very familiar, the old scene in the TV movie in the ancient costumes and modern times is really staged in front of his eyes, just about to step forward to stop these slave bullies from committing murder, Zhao Dahai has already turned over, pulled Lu Shi behind him, picked up the flower gun and was on guard, and said in his mouth: "Brother, don't panic, with my brother here, I should protect you." ”

The current Haoqiang is the master who runs rampant with his hands and eyes, and if he gets into trouble, the sky will fall, and Zhao Dahai is a small official who is not in the middle of a station, that is, ants shake the tree, and he is powerless to fight against them, but Zhao Dahai is willing to take risks for a foreigner who has just known him for ten days, and he is not afraid, why don't he see his true temperament?

Lu Shi looked at Zhao Dahai's tower-like figure and back, and his heart couldn't help but feel hot.

Just as he was sighing, the group had already rushed to the front, and the first young boy was dressed like a singing play, more like a flower butterfly, without even looking at Zhao Dahai and Lu Shi, and ran directly under the windmill.

circled around the windmill a few times, and praised it with a sigh of praise; "It's a good thing, it's a good thing, and I really didn't need manpower to bring the water up."

A few of his subordinates flattered him around him, and kept pandering: "No, look at this amount of water, look at this speed, I am afraid that the thousands of acres of land on this platform will be watered in three or five days." It seems that the small owner has another bumper harvest here this year. ”

The dog-legged people who accompanied them were also amazed, and the discussion was really hot, and they regarded these hundreds of people, the owners of the windmills, as air.

Lu Shi crossed his arms and watched coldly, watching them perform there.

After reading it, the little guy dressed like a butterfly waved his big hand and shouted: "Come on, shout dozens of mud legs, move this thing back and erect it at the door of our house." By the way, at the same time, tell them that in the future, they will pay 30 yuan for watering an acre of land, no, pay 50 yuan, otherwise they don't even think about using it. ”

All the people were as quiet as cicadas, and none of them dared to resist the silence, so they watched these people arrogantly.

Lu Shi was angry, walked forward, and suddenly felt that the corners of his clothes were being tightened, but when he turned around, he was nervously holding on to it, and his face was full of panic.

"Big brother let go." Lu Shi said in a broken voice, it was the first time that Lu Shi had spoken harshly to Zhang Honest like this.

The honest man was about to cry when he saw this, and whispered to dissuade him: "Master don't dare, this young master is Tai Sui of Zhangjiabao, his family has a big business, and there are more than 100 people in the township, we can't afford to provoke the people, so let him give this windmill, but everyone works hard, we are working hard to make another one." ”

Lu Shi asked loudly, "Old brother, do you want to make another one?" What if he moves out again? ”

Zhang honestly opened his mouth but had nothing to say, his face was even more pale with fright, his eyes trembled, and the surrounding people were so frightened that they involuntarily took a few steps back, and in addition to fear in their eyes, they were pitiful, and they didn't know the depth of pity for Lu Shi.

Zhang Laoshi said eagerly: "My uncle, be quiet, don't dare to let Xiao Taisui hear it, it will kill someone." ”

"Brother, let me ask you." Lu Shi stared at Zhang Laoshi and asked without retreating.

Zhang Laoshi remembered Lu Shi's question, and hurriedly replied: "No, Master Zhang's family has a windmill, so he can't move us anymore." The surrounding people also nodded their heads again and again.

"You think wrong, don't you hear? His Zhang family moved the windmill just to collect money from you, and if you build another one, it will block his way to make money, how can he be reconciled with you? ”

When Zhao Dahai heard this, he nodded again and again in agreement, admiring his brother for his far-sightedness, and then looking at everyone, his eyes were full of despair, it's really this truth, if you do one and he moves one, when will it be a head? A few mothers-in-law who had just seen hope had begun to cry softly, and whispered lamentations: "How can I live these days?" ”

Lu Shi turned around, broke away from Zhang Shi's honest hand, stopped the Zhang family brothers who were eager to follow him with his eyes, stopped Zhao Dahai, took a deep breath, strode behind the yelling flower butterfly, and said with a smile: "Want to move away?" How much do you give? ”

In a word, the hundreds of people in the audience became silent, even those families and nurses also opened their mouths wide, looking at Lu Shi with disbelief on their faces, and only the tireless creaking and turning of windmills and the cheerful flow of rivers were left between heaven and earth.

Huan, who was calling the flower butterfly, was pinned by this question that was not loud and very gentle, but revealed infinite majesty, and did not let go of the raised hand for a long time, and then turned around in disbelief with his hand raised.

Standing behind him was a tall body with a head of hair, looking up, a fair, peaceful face looking down at him. There was a faint smile on his face.

After looking left and right, Hua Butterfly was very surprised and said to this peaceful man: "You don't know who I am?" Are you talking to me about this? ”

"I don't need to know the name of the buyer." Lu Shi still said with a calm smile, his face was calm, but the anger in his heart was already burning.

"Buyer? I? He put down his sour hand, pointed to his nose and asked uncertainly, "You mean I'm your buyer?" ”

"yes, you're not a buyer, what are you moving my stuff for?" It was still a plain smile, a plain word, without a hint of ridicule, and the words were full of the sincerity of the buyer and seller.

Hua Butterfly was completely choked, and it took a long time before she stammered, "You should know who I am." ”

"Why do I have to know who you are? It's not necessary. We will only talk about the price of watering the ground, and the price of this windmill. ”

"I'm the little master of the Zhang family." Flower Butterfly kindly reminded Lu Shi.

"Hello little master." Lu Shi said with a faint smile, and said hello politely.

There is no such look of sincerity and fear when others hear their name.

"Has Young Master Ben ever bought anything?"

"I don't know, but if you want to move my things now, either you pay to buy them, or you pay for watering the land, there is no third way to go, the price of fifty wen you offer is too high, I only charge ten wen per mu of land."

Hua Butterfly pointed at Lu Shi's nose, and then looked back at her dozen subordinates.

More than a dozen of his subordinates were also stunned by this man's words, and they all looked at the man, but their eyes were full of looking at the dead.

Yes, in their eyes, the big man was nothing more than a dead man.
